There are more than a few things to do at the Nonprofit Technology Conference. (What? You haven't registered yet? The regular rate goes up on Monday, so get going!)
Since I started working on the NTC -- and its predecessor, the RoundUp -- almost a decade ago, my very favorite part has been the Day of Service.
Whether you're a social media maven, an online fundraising guru, or a wireless networking champ, you can lend a hand. It's simple:
- We work with fabulous local hosts to recruit NTC-area orgs who need some help.
- Conference attendees volunteer their time on the first day of the conference, between 8am and noon.
- Magic happens.
See how easy and awesome that is?
If you're coming the conference, let us know that you want to add the Day of Service to your registration. Just give us a call or send us an email.
If you're just about to register, include the Day of Service in your registration. Once you're signed up, the amazing Beth Kanter will get you up to speed and help you choose a project,
